In the latest twist to the document scandal, investigators said the revelation about translators was among several criticisms of America’s ability to deal with the looming al Qaeda threat contained in the “after action” memo on the millennium terror plot that is at the center of the Berger probe.
Officials said an appeal to hire more translators familiar with Arabic, Pashto and other key “counter-terrorism” languages at the FBI, CIA and National Security Agency was among 29 proposals to tighten security contained in the report.
The report written by former White House counter-terrorism chief Richard Clarke also warned of the presence of al Qaeda cells inside the United States. It urged increased surveillance of Arab students coming into the United States and called for increased security at U.S. ports and other points of entry, investigators said.
The Clinton administration is reported to have only adopted one of its proposals.
Government officials said the FBI had been conducting electronic surveillance of a mosque in Brooklyn frequented by Afghans in 1999 after developing information from the investigation of the U.S. embassy bombings in East Africa.
Sources said the FBI had “hours” of taped conversations between people associated with the unidentified mosque and suspected terrorist leaders

I don't know but let's keep this thing alive.
29 recommendations . . . The Clinton administration is reported to have only adopted one of its proposals.
And yet Clarke tried to blame our President for the results of Slick Willy's incompetence.
I don't get it.
Well, I think this is just a small part of it.
The only item so far to come to light that would explain Berger's knowing willingness to commit a felony is that he may have leaked that we were observing a camp Osama frequented to the government of UAE - leading Osama to find out in short order and escape the potential trap.
Ya know, to show our appreciation for the NYPost and the Washington Times, we should all make a point of actually BUYING their papers tomorrow.
That isn't all NYP, it won't go away with this tiny admission. It's much bigger. We do NOT belive this was ALL it was about.

Whats there not to get? Clinton usually hired people that he could easily compromise and that way control them. Reno is a classic example. He probably has something on Clark and said "hey we are all going down unless you play the game"
That is how he does business... it is his native tongue.
The truth is probably that there are about 20 different things that they're trying to cover up...
Media tends to ignore the story . . .
Question: Have these tapes been translated and if so did the 911 commission hear them.....
If so what did they say?
If not can we do a FOIA request to hear them?
Why let them enter the country in the first place!
Man, is this government stupid or what?
Remember, Clarke didn't get the promotion he wanted and a very lucrative book deal was in the works if he slammed Bush. It was all part of RAT propaganda strategy leading up to Nov. One book after another, including Clinton's. The publishing world is infested with RATs. Not to mention Hollyweird and Michael Moore and now 'The Manchurian Candidate', morphed from an anticommunism film into anti-Bush. They're pulling out all the stops from now until the election. With Kerry heading their ticket, you can understand. Words can't describe how bad he is.
So the papers Berger purloined ( or 'inadvertently' stuffed in his pants) included the proposals kerry put in his speech tonight?
The real question is why would The 'toon' Administration adopt ANY of the proposals??
The real answer is ALWAYS the same........MONEY-BANKING-CONNECTIONS,.....
.........Follow the money re: any action taken by the 'toon' TRAIN-WRECK....
/sarcasm
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Clarke was a Clinton lackey. Like Reno, Cohen and Albright. Over & Out
And all the TV media talks about Michael Jackon, Kobe, etc etc etc grrrrr
Bump! And Bump Again!
